Create

Create NTP configuration on a target host. The server list is written to /etc/chrony/conf.d/osapi-ntp.conf and chrony is reloaded immediately. Fails if NTP configuration is already managed -- use update to change the server list:

$ osapi client node ntp create --target web-01 \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org --servers 1.pool.ntp.org

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  STATUS  CHANGED  ERROR
  ok      true

Broadcast to all hosts at once:

$ osapi client node ntp create --target _all \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org --servers 1.pool.ntp.org

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  STATUS  CHANGED  ERROR
  web-01    ok      true
  web-02    ok      true

When some hosts are skipped (e.g., macOS agents):

$ osapi client node ntp create --target _all \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  STATUS   CHANGED  ERROR
  web-01    ok       true
  mac-01    skipped           unsupported platform

JSON Output

Use --json to get the full API response:

$ osapi client node ntp create --target web-01 \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org --json
{"results":[{"hostname":"web-01","changed":true,"status":"ok"}],"job_id":"..."}
